Nucor Corporation – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Interim Presentation

The information furnished in this Item 1 reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and are of a normal and recurring nature unless otherwise noted. The information furnished has not been audited; however, the December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Item 1 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Nucor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Impacts of Enacted Legislation

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. This did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

2. Inventories

Inventories consisted of approximately 39% raw materials and supplies and 61% finished and semi-finished products at April 1, 2023 (37% and 63%, respectively, at December 31, 2022). Nucor’s manufacturing process consists of a continuous, vertically integrated process from which products are sold to customers at various stages throughout the process. Since most steel products can be classified as either finished or semi-finished products, these two categories of inventory are combined.

3. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded net of accumulated depreciation of $11.32 billion at April 1, 2023 ($11.12 billion at December 31, 2022).

 

4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Nucor completed its most recent annual goodwill impairment testing as of the first day of the fourth quarter of 2022 and concluded that as of such date there was no impairment of goodwill for any of its reporting units.

The annual assessment performed in 2022 for one of the Company’s reporting units, Rebar Fabrication, used forward-looking projections in future cash flows. The fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 34% in the most recent assessment. If our assessment of the relevant facts and circumstances changes, including if the expected future performance of this reporting unit declines from the most recent assessment, non-cash impairment charges may be required. Total goodwill associated with the Rebar Fabrication reporting unit was $346.4 million as of April 1, 2023 ($347.6 million as of December 31, 2022). An impairment of goodwill may also lead us to record an impairment of other intangible assets. Total finite-lived intangible assets associated with the Rebar Fabrication reporting unit were $34.4 million as of April 1, 2023 ($36.3 million as of December 31, 2022). There have been no triggering events requiring an interim assessment for impairment of the Rebar Fabrication reporting unit since the most recent annual goodwill impairment testing date.

Fair value measurements for Nucor’s cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash and cash equivalents are classified under Level 1 because such measurements are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Our short-term investments at April 1, 2023 consisted of certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate notes. Fair value measurements for Nucor’s derivatives, which are typically commodity or foreign exchange contracts, are classified under Level 2 because such measurements are based on published market prices for similar assets or are estimated based on observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risk, spot and future commodity prices, and spot and future exchange rates. There were no transfers between the levels in the fair value hierarchy for the periods presented.

The fair value of short-term and long-term debt, including current maturities, was approximately $6.07 billion at April 1, 2023 (approximately $5.93 billion at December 31, 2022). The debt fair value estimates are classified under Level 2 because such estimates are based on readily available market prices of our debt at April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, or similar debt with the same maturities, ratings and interest rates.

7. Contingencies

We are from time to time a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Nucor maintains liability insurance with self-insurance limits for certain risks.
